Twitterrific is Silent

This morning, Twitterrific for iOS had problems logging in, and at first, I thought it was the 2FA I had applied to my account after a friend's account was hacked. The token on my iPhone expired, and I needed to re-authenticate my account with the 2FA, and yet when I tried to do that... nothing.

It was an hour later that I was still trying to find out what it might be, when I saw the news that Twitter had simply revoted the access tokens for some of the third-party iOS clients - while leaving the macOS clients alone. For example, Twitterrific for macOS is fine. This wasn't a mistake - it was intentional, and that's a shame. They chose to do this, and it's their company, so OK... but I can't imagine this standing - or maybe it's the beginning of the end?

I guess I'll see what Mastodon is all about...
